glo and Clyde built cowboys, any one can see that we are going tc run short of outdoor sports.
 I do not wish to be considered an alarmist, but unless we bring in our Indians at night the cowboys ot l Great Britain and of France will sweep our great West, and together with the road agent from Rome, the pilgrim from Palestine, and the tender-foot from Turkey, they will wipe out our pigeon-toed Flutes, our cute little Crows, our urbane and genial Utes and our low-browed Digger Indians before snow flies next year.
 Gentle reader, we stand upon the crumbling brink of a great cow boy eruption from England, Ireland, Scotland, the continent and the great Orient itself. I do not think that Buffalo Bill had any idea when he started in to rehearse his great society drama and horse play that 1t would so soon disturb interna- tional relations and throng our cac- tus forests and greasewood vine yards with juvenile cowboys from Greenland's icy mountains and In dia's coral strands. If he had he would have hesitated about 1t. Now, alas it is too late.-New York World.

The Dying Editor.

The owner of a paper lay dying
 in his air, and the dew of death
 had gathered on his brow so calm
 and fair; but a printer knelt beside
 him, as his life-blood ebbed away,
 and asked the dying writer if he
 had word to say, The doomed man murmured softly as he grab bed the printers fist: "Well, at last the struggle is over, and I never will be missed. Take a message and a token to that city man of mine, that all his worn out chest nuts he had better put in brine. There's his joke about the weather, which he's used these many years, and the gag about the fellow who is always hunting beers. And the item he's so fond of, on the man who peddles books, and the chest nut based on people who go fishing at the brooks; just to save the pa per's credit, and to cast no slurs on mine, I would him as favor just to put such gags in brine. And the lies he's fond of telling of the street cars and the tracks, and the joke about the man who stepped upon some Jacks, and the one about some dandywho will never pay tor clothes and the one on women cleaning house-it's weary, heaven knows :! Gh, I know I'll slumber happy in the grave beneath the vine, if the man who does the city will put these jokes in brine. Tell the man who tends to business not to weep when I am dead, but to buy him. self a club and hit the first man on the head, who comos.in with strings of items and requests them printed free, when the regular rates are cheaper than they really ought to be. Tell the foreman when he makes up not to turn a rule for me, but to simply print an item saying that my soul is free for I want no eulogistic tafy of that kind in mine, and 1 think such hoary chestnuts should be pickled we'll in brine Have that gay. and festive reporter I engaged the other day, put stop to saying "Selah," also 'We have come to stay" and if he should say Eye locaP' you must trample in his gore, for you know I'd never allow it in the happy days of yore. And the man who comes to tell you how to run the paper well, should be greeted when he enters with a pewter chestnut bell; and you'll print the paper promptly be the weather full of storms, and the fore man must be careful when he's making up the forms, that the beau ty of the paper may through all through all ages shine, and not be like it's neighbors, only fit to put in brine.-Atchison Globe.

and should be respected. Arbitra-

controversies between employee and
employer than strikes, or boycotts

"Might is not the synonym Of

who, while enjoying the benefits ola

guise of Socialism and Anarchy,

A Circus with . Drama.

1t is wonderful what great changes
have taken place in the managerial
department Of the modern circus.
Adam Forepaugh is the first man to
naugurate the new departure. While
the thrilling races of the Hippo
drome, the innumerable caravans
filled with the largest and rarest
collection of living wild animals
known to zoology, including herd
Of thirty elephants, with an unusual
accompaniment Of museum curiosi-
ties are retained as indissolubly con-
nected with his great circus, it is a
fact that he has added to it, that of
the sensational savago-civilized
drama known as the Wild West
Show, as presented by him with
Buffalo Bill at the Madison Square
Garden last winter. This new fea-
ture. cannot fail to attract multitudes
to his already gigantic amusement
enterprise, since a vivid reproduce
tion of the famous Custer Battle, in
which will appear scores Of combat
ants representing the officers and
soldiers engaged in that tragic and
bloody contest, with a hundred gem
uine Indians, scouts, cowboys, &c,
precisely as they appeared at the fa-
tai battle of the Little Big Horn, in
which the gallant Custer lost his life.
Ii the visitor to this popular show
cannot find variety enough to salts
fy the utmost expectation, he will
never find it outside of Mr.. Fore
paugh's generous management of
what is everywhere recognized as the
largest and best show in the world.

A PitiabIe Case.

An exceedingly pitiable case came
to light in the Chicago Court Of In
sane Inquiry on Friday. On Christ
mas Eve, while Max Dreher, a IL
yerr-old boy, was sleeping in the
bakery at which he worked, two
men approached the sleeping boy.
One of the men was dressed in
manner to represent the devil. while
the other was attired in a sheet and
assumed the role of ghost. The
men awakeded young Dreher, and,
showing him knife, threatened to
disembowel him, at the same time
cutting his wrist slightly. The boy
was so paralyzed by fright that he
became gibbering idiot, and has
remained so since that time.

MARTINS FERRY, AND ONE HUNDRED
IN ST. GAINESVILLE.
WHEELING, w. VA, April To-
Yesterday afternoon between and
O'Clock, the most terrific and de-
structive storm which ever visited
this section of the country, was ex.
perienced on the other side of the
river, the range of its worst effects
extending from beyond st. Clairs
vile to the river, at Martins Ferry.
The storm in its devastating power
and all its characteristic features
was a regular cyclone and the week
and damage it left in it's track will
exceed million dollars. Houses
were demolished, barns blown down
and scattered, trees uprooted or
snapped off like pipestems, and in a
number of cases serious injury to
persons occurred, though SO far no
loss of life has been reported.
The storm when first noticed was
approaching st. Clalrsville from the
west, its track seeming to lie along
the National road, with sudden de
Elections to the north and south.
The first damage done SO far as
known was the destruction of the
Belmont County Infrmary barn and
from there to the east end of town
houses were wrecked at short inter-
walls. The path of the storm CONT
ued in an easterly direction, and at
Martins Ferry it wrought havoc,
about seventy five houses being de:
stroyed.
WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE.
When the first sign of the APP
preaching cyclone was noticed
sweeping toward st. Clairsville from
the west in the shape of funnel
like cloud having the appearance of
a mass of dense black smoke, the
little end Of the cone was down, and
tail-like streak descended toward
the ground, sweeping about like q
lash and leaving ruin wherever it
touched.
1t is evident that the fury of the
storm was not entirely srent at TIE
river 1t swept over W heeling in
the upper air, doing no damage to
speak of in the shelter valley, but
leaving serious traces east 0 he :.
While the storm ragged the air was
perceptibly agitated with electricity.
The lightning was not especially
vivid nor frequent here, but the
presence was very noticeable. Over
the river and little distance sou IA
of the city considerable hail fell and
it rained pretty freely all through
the track of the cyclone The cy-
clone was raging while the storm
here was at its height, and the sky
the blacklist. The dark storm cloud
over Martins Ferry was plainly WIS.,
ible from Wheeling.

LADIES AUXILIARY CLUBS En-
TERTAINMENT.-T entertainment
given at the Central Opera House, by
the Ladies Auxiliary Club, for the ben
eft of the Y. M. e. A., was one of the
n icest affairs of the kind ever occurring
in this city, Long before the hour set
to commence the exercises every avail
able chair was occupied, and in short
time. there were but few benches left
either for seats. The M. G.. Band open
ed the program with delightful and
intricate selection, which elected
storm of applause. A chorus was most
excellently rendered by perhaps 40 voices
Miss Anna E. Wisner presiding skillful-
ly at the piano. A special feature, un-
expected but deeply relished, presented
itself next, when Prof. Smith, the we'll
known organist and vocalist Of Freder-
lex, Md, sang pretty solo. His deep
and well cultivated voice, hushed the
audience into intense silence, and at
the conclusion of the solo, the encore
was SO fervent and lasting, that he re-
appeared and responded with touch
ing love ditty. Mr. Stuart w. Walk
er, one of our favorite young vocalists
enlisted the attention of the audi
ence next, rendering a pretty solo,
which he sung TO perfection and for
which he was loudly applauded The
piano duet by Misses Nellie Duvall and
have heard for years, and was certain
ly grandly executed by those young
performers. The recitation and solo
of Miss Mai Faulkner were gems, and
she never appeared to better advantage
in Martinsburg entertainment. Miss
Nellie Duval's piano solo was also quite
praiseworthy. But the most laughable
feature of the evening program, was the
old folks picnic, in which both youth
and middle age, assumed the decrepi-
tude of age. and with whitened locks,
old-fashioned gowns and spectacles, re-
minded one Of the good old grand-dam
es of the long ago. Mrs. Flick especial
ly, with her red sewing bag and green
box of snuff, was quite natural. All,
however, looked sweet, and even old
age could not erase the happy smiles,
nor steal away the bright beams of fun
that flashed from many eyes. If we may
be allowed to insert little side remark
just here, we will say, that twenty ,thir-
ty or forty years from now, there will
be some pretty and stylish old ladies in
Martinsburg. way Down on the Swa,
nee River,' and 1.-THE Old Folks at
Home" we're sung, Prof. Smith leading,
and the whole choir of old ladies and
gentlemen joining in the refrain. This
ended the evenings exercises. But we
must not forget to mention the cute
recitation of little Miss Boydie Faulk-
ner, which, for childish simplicity,
sweet accent and perfect delivery, GER
tainly was deserving of the highest
praise, and called forth round after
round of applause. The M. G. Band
was in excellent condition and made all
present feel quite proud of it's attain
ments. The receipts of the evening
amounted to $50.
